J.Poirier, 'A review: influence of refractories on steel quality', Metall. Res. Technol. 112 410 (2015) doi:10.1051/metal/2015028
Chemistry and inclusion control are two of the main keys to the production
of quality steel products. The refractory materials have a direct influence on the quality
of elaborate grades at different levels: (i) The control of solute elements such as carbon,
sulphur, nitrogen, hydrogen, oxygen. (ii) The prevention of non-metallic inclusions. A good
knowledge of the metal-slag-refractory products interactions is consequently necessary in
order to have a better control of elaboration procedures. Among all the points brought up,
we could mention all the developments that will limit the contribution of refractory products
in clogging phenomena, carbon pick up and atmospheric re-oxidation, in conjunction
with efforts of the metallurgists to produce clean steels.
